Toy Review - AA Tomahawk

[SharkyMcShark]

check your target

I popped down to the one closest to me this afternoon - they didn't even have the wave two stuff

[griffin]

Target appears to have missed wave 2, which isn't surprising if there is an extended delay after one wave... different stores end up with different waves at the same time.

SharkyMcShark: I found Tomahawk last weekend the same time I found Electrostatic Jolt and Terradive at Target. Does anyone have this toy yet? I only had enough dosh to buy one toy so I chose Terradive. I plan on getting Tomahawk should I find him after my next pay.

i did pick this guy up along with terradive,

one of the better looking helicopter modes i have seen, i had a quick transform of him, not really enough of a play to give it a good review..


his head reminds me of the animated twins jetfire/jetstorm...

Looks a little thin for me

I've been to two Targets now and still nothing

I'm tempted to try the one in the city on the way home.

So will Target get Wave 2 eventually? or will they just skip it for good?

If they are receiving wave 3 from Hasbro, then it means other store-chains already have all of their wave 2 stock. The only way Target would end up having wave 2 figures now is if those figures are re-released in a later wave.
If we don't see other chains (other than Toyworld that is) it is likely that Toyworld direct imported that wave (unintentionally, as they may have just ordered at the right time), and Hasbro AUS totally missed it (they had so much wave 1 stock, by the time they needed more stock from the factory, they probably missed the release of wave 2).

So basically I should probably buy Wave 2 on sight considering that whatever stores have them may be the ONLY stores to have them and it may not be safe to assume other stores will stock them? Hmm, time to keep an eye out for Hailstorm and Sidesarm Sideswipe!

Not necessarily, but don't hold out too long just in case. Someone found wave 2 in a Target in NSW, and they are appearing in Myer as well, so perhaps Hasbro AUS did manage to get a small number in, and it has just taken time to work their way through the warehousing system of the storechains.
